University of Arkansas at Little Rock Chancellor Andrew Rogerson has a collection of landscapes currently on exhibit at the Central Arkansas Library System’s Butler Center Galleries in downtown Little Rock.

The collection, simply titled “Landscapes,” features about 18 oil paintings on display through Aug. 25.

Rogerson spent decades as a microbiologist and researcher, exploring life in microscopic detail, seeking discovery and revelation. He paints landscapes to explore nature as he sees it—through the process of translation with brush, canvas, and oil paints. This scientific view, informed by a sense of exploration and creativity, defines Rogerson’s work and his search for truth through art.

The Central Arkansas Library System’s art program is located in the Arkansas Studies Institute, 401 President Clinton Ave. Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information, visit the CALS website.
